I'm a vegitarian and my brother thinks it's soo stupid, but I can't help it, I can't eat meat... I'm the only one in my family who is and I have been since I was about 6. (I'm 13 now)
So my question is, do you think it's stupid?

I am a vegetarian as well and have been since I was born as I have a PKU ( I cant eat anything with protein) but even if I didnt have it I would be a vegetarian. I am also the only one in the family. The taste is gross and I am a HUGE animal person. I would to eat vegies than some poor slaughtered animal.
Good on you!

Of course, it's not stupid. I'm only one vegetarian in a family full of meat eaters. Just ignore him. My brother does the same thing to me.

hell no do what you think is right! Keep up the good work!
I am 14 and I am the only one in my family also but there is no dout in my mind that it is a waste of time and stress. hope things get better for you, and this life style isn't the best for everyone i guess even though we wish it would be.

It's definitely not stupid. You have the right to choose what you want to eat and what you don't want to eat. You have the right to have your reasons for being a vegetarian. If your family eats meat, fine, but: you don't judge them, they don't judge you - that's how it should normally be.

It's not stupid! Tell your brother, he is narrow minded.
Just remember one thing, as a girl still in development, you NEED essential amino acids and them you can get only from eggs or milk if you don't eat meat. Fish would be excellent solution for you.
Think about it. And be careful.
Good luck!

I don't like mushrooms, but I don't call attention to it by calling myself a non- mushroomatarian.
Eat whatever you want, but be sure you are eating a balanced diet. Humans need to eat animal products to survive ( check out our teeth!) and some vitamins are just not easily obtained without them.
Like I said, eat what you want, don't label yourself, and make sure you are getting all the nutrients you need.

If you can't eat meat, you have a (weird) allergy. You're only vegetarian by default.

I'm 50 and I have been vegetarian for 23 years. My wife has been vegetarian all of her life.
We wouldn't have it any other way.
There's no reason why you should have to eat fish or any other animals.
